On the planet Pyrrus, human colonists have fought a centuries-old war with the native life forms. These life forms adapt to human tactics and technology, evolving new species so rapidly that natives returning from even brief trips off planet must be carried in protective armor canisters from their ship to the safe buildings, where they will learn of the latest deadly threats.

Jan Kulozik was one of Earth's privileged elite. A brilliant young electronics engineer, he enjoyed all the blessings of a twenty-third-century civilization that survived global collapse and conquered the starts, unaware of the millions who slaved or starved to maintain his way of life. Then Jan met Sara, a beautiful agent of the rebel underground dedicated to smashing Earth's rigid caste system. Through her he discovered the truth behind the lies he'd been taught.

The Muad'Dib's jihad is in full swing. His warrior legions march from victory to victory. But beneath the joy of victory there are dangerous undercurrents. Paul, like nearly every great conqueror, has enemies - those who would betray him to steal the awesome power he commands. Paul himself begins to have doubts: Is the jihad getting out of his control? Has he created anarchy? Has he been betrayed by those he loves and trusts the most? And most of all, he wonders: Am I going mad?

Summary

The planet was called Felicity. The name was a joke, except for those compelled to settle there. Inhabiting it were beings bred for thousands of years for a single purpose: to attack and kill. Jason knew this. But he also knew the planet on which he lived was moving toward certain disaster. And Felicity was the only spot in the universe where he and his companions could survive. He thought he had worked out the perfect plan. But what awaited him on Felicity went far beyond his wildest imagining.

Great Book

Awesome, Deathworld 1 is amazing 2 is great and 3 was incredible. much to my delight I've discovered there are 7 in total! 4 is a short story and the rest are written in tandem with Russian authors, unfortunately to my knowledge they have not yet been translated. Nothing against Rummel, aside from Metta, he was a great reader however after listening to Greg do the 1st two Deathworlds, I could never fully adapt to Rummel. I'm sad to hear of Greg's passing in 2002. I sure hope someone ends up translating the rest of the books, and gets it up on audible! I would love to hear those stories!

classic 60s/70s era of sci fi

If you love the early 60s/70s era of sci fi worlds then you'll love this. The 3rd book of the series, it isn't really about a death world, but it's none the less engaging. This is the last book of the series that is in English, the rest are in Russian. The narrator is also a good fit for the story, his voice evoks the classic audiobooks and cassette taps of the decade this was likely recorded in, which fills me with nostalgia.

Good story bro!

This is a great scifi adventure story but I recommend starting with book 1 and 2.

The recording is great and the reader does a great job with the many voices.
